For that comm I could see users downvoting it for a lot of the post being negative/rants but yeah it does happen when it isn’t deserved unfortunately. I just don’t think banning should be a knee jerk response as other mods have done.

I would be surprised if they haven’t automated it at this point. I’ve been meaning to post about it since it’s reeks of vote manipulation to me but I’ll give it some more time first.

Their justification is you’re not a participant in the community, yet you’re voting. Of course theres 0 reflection on the content coming out of their subs comm and it has no weight in the decision.

For brigading I can understand but a couple of mods have a very low bar for it. One banned me recently because of it. Likely because two low effort post made it to all in a short window from a meat base comm. I’ve downvoted vegan post more often back in the early days and they dgaf.

This is how I do it but be aware voting through this method leads to shitty mods banning you under the pretence of drive by voting. Doesn’t stop me but just FYI.

Neat! I didn’t see that, I’ll give them a read.

It’s like OSHA laws. Every rule for these programs has a great misfortune behind it.

A very succinct way of phrasing it. Cheers for that and for posting the studies.

Hell yeah, thanks a lot for taking the time to spoon feed my ignorant butt. Very informative reply, thank you. I guess a reply would be “that can be done without DEI” but then that just circles back to your no one is colourblind remark. If google wasn’t diverse organically without DEI, I don’t have much optimism other corporations would be.

I guess I was hoping for something a bit more rigorous but still your reply makes sense. Thanks for the input.

As much as I don’t care for DEI as a guiding “doctrine” for hiring, I also think companies shouldn’t be anti-diversity by law. Like intentionally hiring people because they aren’t white, no (and feels like tokenism/racism) but also intentionally hiring only whites (or the majority race) is a bigger no. Especially if more qualified candidates are being passed over solely because they’re PoC. Also companies should be inclusive so as to not be shit companies in general? Can someone tell me if/why my take is dumb or poorly thought out?

That’s my assumption as well but haven’t seen this one get much attention thus far.

Sorry to hear it mate. I’m glad you have positive memories to look at to remember them by. Hope you’re doing alright and thanks for sharing.

Why does this read as passively blaming Australians for modern day California wildfires?? Also fyi (it’s a paragraph or two so I’ll put it in a spoiler) it was and still is a California problem.

The blond twink who the main character get jealous of and smashes his face in so he won’t steal Tyler away from him with his looks.

“Where’d you go, psycho boy?”

Given a non insignificant amount of women migrated to Bluesky because of thinly veiled threats of SA from xitter; meeting strange blokes online probably isn’t high on the “must do” list. Hell even without the xitter shitfight that probably holds.

Even if a guy is just being platonic or speaking in a similar manner to a woman

This probably comes from a life with no shortage of blokes trying to get their foot in the door under the guise of “friendship”.

I’d argue there’s a lot of similarities, since most people left due to Spez and the IPO. I left when Spez and co fucked over the Apollo app dev.

This excludes the tankie instances. I saw a lot of “death to Israel” and other shit before I filtered those instance that would probably have gotten them nuked on reddit. Stuff like that will be the main differences. Here there isn’t any worry about how marketable the platform is to advertisers. Which is mostly a good thing.

Having been waiting what feels like forever for stalker 2; I would be happy if it gets it. I know there still work to do but fuck if I am not having a blast playing it. Dwarf fortress would be a nice one too even if its been around for nearly 2 decades.

Yep, beat me to it.

“Disney has gone woke”.

Meanwhile Mary Poppins (made in the 60’s) straight up has a banger song “sister suffragette” and signs for women’s suffrage in it.

You’re most welcome, I only know beyond the click bait you mentioned because some YouTuber was transparent about learning how to make thumbnails for that purpose (maybe funhaus back in the day).

There are thumbnail “trends” that lead to videos performing better algorithms wise and this matches it. That and the stupid face the centre guy is pulling leads me to agree with the other commenter.
